control and the population is not accepting any demands and dreams of the aspirations of the arab spring from january two thousand and eleven have not been met and the backing by president obama of president morsi has also been a serious deficiency and so the people are left with nothing but to demonstrate and to try to stop where appears to be a dictatorship or at least a consolidation of power by the muslim brotherhood. some u.s. officials are suggesting the syrian military is preparing to use chemical weapons against rebels and is awaiting final orders from president assad that quotes from unnamed sources in the american media come as washington says that there would be a reason to intervene and he is middle east correspondent policia reports the growing frenzy around w m d may not be a coincidence. these rumors are verified as of yet there are just allegations what

they do suggest is that syria's military has been mixing chemical weapons and loading them into bombs the allegations suggest that the syrian president bashar assad is reportedly planning to use these on his own people now the reports say that syrian forces have been unloading bombs with components of salmon gas which is of davy nerve gas and that they have sixty days in which they can use these bombs until the chemical mixture expires and has to be destroyed this comes as the u.s. military is making contingency plans should the syrian president bashar assad suddenly leave with the u.s. sources saying that they are aware that assad has received numerous asylum offers at the same time the united states has reportedly deployed the u.s. eisenhower's start strike group which went through the suez canal from the persian gulf over the weekend and we understand according to reports that it is making its way to the syrian coast and it has been throughout this week now on board all eight

fighter bomber squadrons of the seven at the same time there are eight thousand sailors airmen and marines and joins the u.s. i were just after amphibious ready group which already carries some two and a half thousand marines now what this does indicate this latest development is that the united states now stands ready for direct military intervention in the syrian conflict certainly that is what we're hearing from various sources and various commentators who have been following the story closely what it also indicates is that increasingly we are hearing from all quarters on the global community the idea that intervention in syria could be an option i just want to remind you that when we saw foreign intervention in iraq at that stage it was only allegations that the country had chemical that the country had weaponry that the country had the capability of carrying out what with that time was called weapons of mass destruction destruction and on those allegations alone there was foreign

intervention so certainly the eyebrows are being raised in the international community as to whether or not we're going to see intervention here in syria. germany and israel have agreed to disagree over the issue of jewish settlements on palestinian land. chancellor macao stop short of condemning israeli actions actions which have left her and european partners furious israel is facing increasing isolation on the continent updated announced plans to build three thousand homes on occupied palestinian territory in germany initially criticise and me if i didn't join other east asia cold in israel embassadors to go to damage your relations between the two you have been especially tense after germany abstained from a u.n. vote which upgraded palestine's status in the organization german journalist manual and writer says israel is used to going unpunished for as provocative actions if we don't break the law speaking eight we see that it's really really what the west i
